       Epigraph

      Farewell, ungrateful traitor!

      Farewell, my perjured swain!

      Let never injured woman

      Believe a man again.

      The pleasure of possessing

      Surpasses all expressing,

      But ’tis too short a blessing,

      And love too long a pain.

       John Dryden

      Eddie Mitchell stared at the handwriting on the envelope. He knew who it was from but, unable to take any more pain, he couldn’t face opening it.
